*Well, I didn't check my brokerage account until today and just noticed that some of the dividends that are usually paid out in March were pushed foward to leap day on February 29th. So I've revised my February dividend update.
February ended up being a pretty good month for dividends, much better than was expected since I had 3 positions payout on 2/29 when I was expecting a March payout. Unfortunately since I'm really gungho about paying off debt I haven't been able to add to my brokerage account to increase my dividend income. That on top of work being slow meaning lower take home pay has had a double effect on keeping me from investing more.
I've received a total of $37.27 in dividends this year so far. March will end up paying out around $50 so it should be another good month for dividends.
My Roth IRA has paid out a total of $8.00 in dividends so far in 2012.
It's not much over the 2 accounts but it's still an extra $45.27 that I've invested that I wouldn't have otherwise.

July wasn't the best of months for dividends with only 2 stocks in my brokerage account and 1 stock in my Roth IRA making payouts. July did bring 1 new position, Emerson, and 1 addition to a current position, in McDonalds. The two purchases will add...
- Dividend Update - May 2012
May was a so-so month but better than April with its 3 payouts. I had a total of 5 payouts across my accounts. My dividend payments will start to increase here over the rest of the year with lots of fresh capital being deployed to dividend growth stocks...
- Dividend Update - April 2012
April was back down to a low month. Once I can start investing money again I'm hoping that there will be some good bargains on stocks that payout on the January, April, July and October schedule because that group is severely lacking for me right...
- Dividend Update - March 2012
March was my highest dividend payout month so far. I had a total of 8 stocks payout in my brokerage and 2 in my Roth. I'm reinvesting dividends in all the stocks except for HAL since it already represents 1/3 of my portfolio and is also my source...
